Petroleum (Production) Act (Northern Ireland) 1964
The Petroleum (Production) Act (Northern Ireland) 1964 (c. 28 (N.I.)) is an Act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland which vested in the Northern Ireland Ministry of Commerce the property in undeveloped petroleum. It also made provision for searching for and producing petroleum. Background Earlier legislation such as the Land Purchases Acts had vested land, mines and mineral rights in the Northern Ireland Ministry of Finance, see for example the Minerals (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (Northern Ireland) 1959 (1959 c. 17). By the early 1960s the commercial development of the oil and gas industry was a realistic prospect as seen in other parts of the UK. The responsibility for issuing exploration and production licences, and the holding of mineral rights was seen to be more appropriately vested in the Ministry of Commerce.

In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid chemical compound with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.John P. Rafferty, ed. (2011): Minerals'; p. 1. In the series ''Geology: Landforms, Minerals, and Rocks''. Rosen Publishing Group. The geological definition of mineral normally excludes compounds that occur only in living organisms. However, some minerals are often biogenic (such as calcite) or are organic compounds in the sense of chemistry (such as mellite). Moreover, living organisms often synthesize inorganic minerals (such as hydroxylapatite) that also occur in rocks. The concept of mineral is distinct from rock, which is any bulk solid geologic material that is relatively homogeneous at a large enough scale. A rock may consist of one type of mineral, or may be an aggregate of two or more different types of minerals, spacially segregated into distinct p ...
